Description
Here is another piece coming at you.So far it's just colored pencil and I'm super happy with how rich it's coming out
Follow me on twitter to see more progress [link]
The paper I used is Rives bfk printmaking paper.
So far it's only prismacolor pencil, just Poppy Red on top of the paper.
Then white for the highlights and Rouge Toscan (red) for the darker values.
All nicely blending with that blending stump.
I went trough about 3 Poppy Red pencils to get that base down.
I usually would start with a watercolor background.... but I forgot, ha. seriously.
The next step is adding Water-soluble wax pastels (Caran D'Ache) on top of the color pencil.
This is a new step in my process.
The pastels are freakn amazing though, I strongly recommend using then over your pencils
I'll keep you guys posted on more process.
I wanted to try and do a video for this one but had to start it faster then I intended.
Soon though guys, soon!!

You seriously don't mind to give away your process? I want to try it!Β
Your work it's as meticulous as hyperrealism but as creative as any surreal or pop surreal style!
I like that is so clean and abstract but still figurative.Β

ridiculously amazing O_O just a quick question. is the facial features in the middle shot inked?? i've read that you just used colored pencils but they look so sharp and dark for it to be pencils??
i wish i could stick my face up close and stare at it for hours...

My question is, you've kept the white areas/negative space, so far very clean. How do you manage that? Do you use masks? or is all skillz

these are all just pencils sofar + blending with a paper stum?
that's amazing
is the red base really that 'flat' (constant cover, no white bits) as it looks on that wide shot to the right?
Almost seems like you painted it there

theirison In reply to Banorac [2011-12-09 08:02:39 +0000 UTC]
yeah its pretty flat, its a bit less perfect when you get up on it in person, but its about as flat as you can make pencils
